For example, who is fair? Fox or MSNBC and CNN? Depends on your meaning of "fair".

Was it just an oversight that NYT left out Menendez party? That NBC reported him as a Republican?

Take WAPO from last summer/fall: get a marker and underline the adjectives in the political articles. Decide which articles are fair.

Fairness depends on point of view.

I think CNN is unfair--you may think Fox is unfair.

Newspapers used to report facts with little bias except on editorial pages.
No longer.

But, of course, the biggest bias is reflected in what they choose to report. Who would determine "fairness" there?

Good post. And, I would add... part of that biggest bias is not only what they choose to report... it is also what they choose NOT to report.

+1 and also how they choose to report ...

I can bet my paycheck that you will not see any part of this story on CNN this week.

CNN's unusually left-leaning bias is increasingly apparent. They bury any story which might cast democrats/the DNC in a bad light.

The Fairness Doctrine was a policy of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was — in the Commission's view — honest, equitable, and balanced. The FCC, which was believed to have been under pressure from then President Ronald Reagan, eliminated the Doctrine in 1987. (Wikipedia)

Reagan's Veto Kills Fairness Doctrine Bill
June 21, 1987|PENNY PAGANO | Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON — President Reagan, intensifying the debate over whether the nation's broadcasters must present opposing views of controversial issues, has vetoed legislation to turn into law the 38-year-old "fairness doctrine," the White House announced Saturday.

We keep what we sow America. No reason this could not be reversed given such incredible MSM bias, as evidenced by CNN.

Indeed. I wouldn't be surprised if the entire Pakistani clan gets off scot-free, in exchange for testimony that leads to locking up Debbie and several others.

What are the chances of that?

Any thoughts on this?

I cannot imagine that they will get off scot-free. But, I may be wrong.
Maybe something like... they are fined a pretty hefty fine (to repay the govt and loan co) and are able to return permanently to Pakistan in exchange for testimony?
I have to think there is a deal for no jail time in order to get her to return. If that is what you mean by scot-free, I would agree.

Pakistan must be a hell compared to US jail.

Don't you mean Hurrican Awan is about to hit DC?

Awan's wife makes a deal with the DOJ and returning from Pakistan.... Popcorn time!
